Labels on block diagram

[etipi]

Hi All,

I am new to Labview and started with my first application. I was reviewing an example VI and noticed that every label on block diagram has border which increase code readability. I could not find a way to set a border on labels. I appreciate if anyone explains how to set/configure it.

Thanks

Check your LabVIEW Block Diagram options (Tools -> Options -> Block Diagram) for "Transparent Free Labels". Although I think that the border decreases readability because it make the comments look like more like objects. As my friend Cicero used to say, "de gustibus non est disputandum".

You can also use the coloring tool to change an existing comment's color. However I don't think you can set a default color and border color. You only get to choose between black

+yellow or transparent. using the option I mentioned.
